Hi, what do you want to do?
Curated OER
Attenuation of Light in Water
Learners explore what happens to light intensity as depth increases using a light intensity logger. They construct a PVC model to hold water and identify what factors could influence the amount of light attenuation.
Curated OER
Heat Transfer and Pollution
Students perform computer simulations on air dispersion. In this chemistry instructional activity, students calculate energy transfer based on specific heat and temperature change. They explain the causes of smog.
Curated OER
Scientists and Inventors
Fourth graders investigate scientists and inventors. In this science instructional activity, 4th graders discuss inventors and scientists. Students research their chosen inventor or scientists and write a report about that person.
